Rachel MarynowskiRachel Marynowski, ND received her Bachelor of Science degree in Public Health from the University of Georgia. After working in corporate health for 2 years, Dr. Marynowski sought a more comprehensive medical model, based upon preventive rather than disease-based care; one that encourages patients to take an active role in their own health. Her goal was to help improve patients’ qualities of life prior to implantation of disease and dysfunction. Naturopathy was the perfect fit, so she went on to complete her doctorate degree in Naturopathic Medicine from the National University of Health Sciences. She now practices integrative medicine in Atlanta and holds special interests in women and children’s health, environmental medicine, clinical nutrition and homeopathy. She recently published her first children’s book and plans to complete a full health series in the near future.
